Public Participation Plan for the “La Atalaya” Photovoltaic Solar Plant

If you are from Villena (Alicante), you are interested in this survey of Public Participation Plan of the Photovoltaic Solar Installation La Atalaya Photovoltaic Solar Plant, with 120 MWp of installed power and limited to 88 MWn at the grid connection point.

As established by Law 5/2014, of July 25, on Spatial Planning, Urbanism and Landscape, of the Valencian Community, Landscape Integration Studies (hereinafter EIP) must contain a Public Participation Plan (hereinafter PPP) to know the opinion or preferences of the interested public regarding the value of the landscapes concerned, the definition of landscape quality objectives and the options considered in the projects to be accompanied. The PPP is a document that defines and develops the public participation strategy and is included as an attached document to the Landscape Integration Study.

Mursolar 14 S.L. is the developer of the grid-connected “La Atalaya” Photovoltaic Solar Installation, with 120 MWp of installed power and limited to 88 MWn at the grid connection point, as well as its 132 kV SE underground transport infrastructure and the Atalaya 132/30 kV Substation.

The project is located in the case of the photovoltaic solar plant in the municipality of Villena, specifically in the areas of La casa del pino, Rincón del Espino, Carboneras, Rincón del Moro and Lomas del Cid, according to the map of the National Geographic Institute at a scale of 1:25,000. It is framed on Sheet 0845-IV and Sheet 0845-II of the National Topographic Map (MTN) at a scale of 1:25,000 from the National Geographic Institute (IGN).

This PUBLIC PARTICIPATION PLAN is presented as part of the Landscape Integration Study of these projects, in accordance with Law 5/2014, of July 25, on Spatial Planning, Urbanism and Landscape, of the Valencian Community.

To carry out the plan, we request that a brief survey be completed to assess the landscape elements considered in the Landscape Integration Study (Landscape Units and Landscape Resources), as well as the contribution of some landscape resource that they consider has not been included and that would be worth considering for the study.

With the image shown in each question, it is a matter of evaluating, according to your preference, the landscape quality of each Landscape Unit or landscape resource, evaluating each one from Very Low to Very High.

Remember that you are not valuing the photographic quality, but rather the scene shown.
